Join us on July 17, 2025, for the Getting Started on Aurora and Polaris Bootcamp.
The event will introduce attendees to using Aurora, Argonne's exascale machine and Polaris. This event is aimed at participants who have experience using clusters or supercomputers.
- Hardware Overview
- Best practices for running, compiling (env variables, like JIT, check pointing)
- AI frameworks, Python
- Q&A
Please note that the hands-on portion is targeted for users that have access to Aurora or Polaris already. No new accounts will be provisioned for the bootcamp, but for current ALCF users with active accounts, please request to join the following project:
Project: alcf_training
PI: Yasaman Ghadar
Join the project here.
All the tutorials will become available on our GitHub repository and this bootcamp will be a live demonstration.
Solomon Bekele is a Postdoctoral Appointee at Argonne National Laboratory, specializing in performance and power optimization of heterogeneous high-performance computing (HPC) systems. His research focuses on developing tracing frameworks for heterogeneous systems and designing strategies to improve energy efficiency in exascale architectures. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from IIT Delhi, specializing in Computer Architecture, where he investigated resource contention aware performance-energy trade-offs in Chip Multiprocessors.
Marieme Ngom is an Assistant Computer Scientist at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility. Her research interests include scalable machine learning, uncertainty quantification, and dynamical systems modeling. Ngom received her Ph.D. in mathematics from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in 2019 under the supervision of Prof. David Nicholls. Marieme holds an MSc in mathematics from the University of Paris-Saclay (formerly Paris XI), an MSc in computer science from the National Polytechnic Institute of Toulouse, and an MEng in computer science and applied mathematics from the École nationale supérieure d’électrotechnique, d’électronique, d’informatique, d’hydraulique et des télécommunications (ENSEEIHT) in Toulouse.
